FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES is a romantic comedy about six friends at different stages in their lives - married, divorced, newly engaged and single - who are outwardly happy, but secretly questioning if their friends have it better. ANDI and BOBBY are happily married with a toddler and another baby on the way, but at times long for the days when they had less responsibility and more fun; WILL is newly single and preaching the bachelor lifestyle, but still pining for his ex-wife; JULES and LOWELL are high on their passionate new relationship; and KATE has a successful career but may have a breakdown when she finds out her last remaining single friend, Jules, just got engaged. When it comes to relationships, these six friends are finding it a challenge to look at each other without wondering... who really has the better life?

I was disappointed when I heard this was canceled. I thought it was really funny. Especially the "handy-man" episode. So much better than some of the shows CBS (and other networks) has given multi-seasons.

I liked the pilot but I wasn't 100% sold on the show yet but after seeing the other episodes I am hooked. James Van Der Beek is hilarious. Gotta love Dawson!
